PC Games MOBA Interview with Morello

PC Games MOBA, a German gaming magazine, recently conducted an interview with Ryan "Morello" Scott where he mentioned some interesting tidbits about League of Legends; a new champion with "gravity influencing abilities", Dark Sovereign, and much more.

While the original article is in German, here is a brief summary thanks to redditor DarkX2:

At Gamescom players will be able to play a new champion with "gravity influencing" abilities

A champion named Dark Sovereign is mentioned, that explores new gaming mechanics

He is very pleased that at tournaments about 70% of all champions are constantly picked/banned

Regarding Pulsefire Ezrael - if players like it, we will see more of it. They are checking numbers

They are investigating implementing a system to reward good behavior similar to DOTA2

About season 3: He mentions the pro-league with player salaries, hd stream

As Gamescom 2012 runs August 15th through the 19th, looks like we'll have to wait a few days for this fancy new Gravity based champion, who, assuming Rengar was a genuine leak, doesn't sound like someone who would don a bonetooth necklace.

Also, the mere mention of Dark Sovereign, who we first saw hidden away in the 6-8 PBE, has me teeming with excitement. There are a lot of fan theories spawned purely from the name and the void type spells that accompanied the original leak - Kog'Maw's Daddy, Kassadin's Daughter, etc. What are your ideas for the mysterious void champion who explores new game mechanics?

very long time ago , HoN or the crap copypaster of warcraft 3 engine and claim they r better than LoL and DotA2 games ,COPY a champion n heroes and they name it Kinetik - with some shitty abilities , the appearance look so damn similar to Ryze(LoL`s Champion) and abilities that similar to Rubick(DotA,DotA2 heroes) with more shitty related.They also claimed that they invent the vector targeting in MOBA(fk ! they r not).

Now RioT show them how to really fk with GRAVITY TYPE heroes/champions! with more vector targeting!

WoW... You seriously need some help. And I don't mean just someone for spellchecking. It's just a game - That goes for both. And it's normal to 'adapt' from popular games these days - Since there's no patent going on all can do that.That fact aside, did you know all LoL champs have a reference skillwise or playstylewise? Just try to look up Xyph's posts about the creation of Orianna i.e. ^^I'm sorry to burst your bubble there buddy, but 'lending' ideas is common nowadays.

Dark Sovereign sounds llike we are finally getting someone with influence from the voild. Hope its some super awsome mage thats come over to show the true power of the void. kog and cho are cool but nothing more then scouts and maz is a messenger. cant wait so much potential with gravity.
